0:00 Nice loop. The mixing is a little funny. Not sure if those are real chords.
0:11 I can hear a little voice loop in there. Funny.
0:19 If anything this sounds like experimentation. I don't mind experimentation.
0:28 It's slightly hilarious.

It is repetitive, but kinda catchy. But it's just experimentation, and it gets really jarring after a while with the really off-putting chords and such. Needs a bit more to push it past average.

Cool!

Thanks for the feedback.. my ears can't really do everything by themselves lol appreciate it loads guys.
The mix is mind boggling. It sounds like some simple little loop but I have to compress this, reverb that, eq this, quiet that, just for it to even sound bland enough to not be a pain.

But yea this was an experiment,

yea..

These are... epic. I can't believe it. Thanks for entrancing me with your music. Keep on keeping on. You are a star in the sky.

0:00 Nice soothing intro.
0:12 Drum&bass rhythm coming in. Lots of reverb. nice intro.
0:22 You got hi's coming in here. If anything, this song kind of lacks a little energy so far, and feels like bits are being pasted on as we go.
0:43 I think this is supposed to be a build-up. It should be a bit more exciting. Using things like automation filters could be exciting.
1:10 Hmm... the bass isn't all too bassy. It needs to be a bit more impacting.
1:25 Playful. Has a playful melody. Perhaps the type of reverb on that main lead is too weird. It feels like it's in a different space altogether. I don't really like it.
2:09 It's getting a bit repetitive right now. Be nice if things varied to keep me interesting. Yes the melody is progressing, but nothing else seems to be.
2:49 Still kind of sitting here waiting for something to happen.
2:57 OK nice build up, repeating synths, I hope it builds to a nice conclusion.
3:20 Ok this is interesting. I like at least that there's some variety. But still nedes to be interesting. That hi-hat pattern's a bit boring.
3:37 Did it just loop over again? I'm going to skip through to check. It sounds like it exactly looped.

Ok not sure if it looped again but I didn't want to listen to it and it sounded pretty much the same. Very moody, very understated, but just a little bit boring. You might want to spice things up and fix the reverb on that main synth. Things are just a little dreary and lacking energy, and I can't really hear the fullness of your lead etc.

Thanks for letting me listen!

Very tight. Very loud. Very nice. this is probably the best beat I've heard from you. Well done.

Interesting new style. I want you to keep trying stuff like this, even though the synth isn't that well mixed. The snare is nice though. Your kicks are a bit over-bassy and the snares clumsy, but your overall progression is tight.

ThaKidd responds:

I don't care for trap so I said fuck mastering haha

I do like your flow quite a lot on this one. You've got a very cool voice for rappin and stuff ^_^

If you had a better mic it'd be even better. And you're good at lyrics too. The song's got a general theme of hustlin :)

Thanks ZigZag. I appreciate the review man. I dont think the problem is the microphone though. Its what the microphone picks up... its a fantastic microphone but I dont have a secluded closed off room to record in. Picks up other sounds sometimes. But I know what you mean man.
Thank you again for taking the time to review.

This song blesses me in so many different ways. The composition lifts my soul with grace. I feel weighted no longer by concerns of death, but by the promise of life. A weight is lifted off my shoulders. I feel lighter. The world surrounding me looks brighter. I stare into the distance, the grains of sand coarse between my toes, the sunlight beating down on my forehead, the wind blowing across the desert landscape. I can bend time. Life makes sense now in this universe. I am no longer encumbered by all that crap I used to think was important. I cut off my heels and ascend into the sky.

keepwalking responds:

I hope you notice what you just wrote there. Such deep words, man.

Noticeably chill. Your snares aren't overwhelming like they sometimes are. Your scratching is top-notch. I like the static leading from about 1:30 onwards. 1:45 feels kind of out of place within the progression. You have a knack for making a very few elements feel "full". It's nice that you cracked a 3-month block, if that means what I think it means.

everyone matters
